Then lastly a call for solidarity from Indonesian Anarchists who are still in detention.
Too many are still detained facing serious charges after the protests earlier this year. The crackdown continues.

Good to see this in @freedompress.bsky.social

Our Indonesian friends are being scapegoated & targeted by the state following the recent protests.

The crackdown is severe & widespread but little of it bar a few high profile cases is getting much coverage.

Bai Por had been found guilty in her 3rd Lèse-majesté case, bringing her total jail time to 8 years.
She was out on bail awaiting appeals process in other 2 cases. This time sentenced to 2 years, not suspended.
Another case of charge stacking by Thailand's authorities.

October 28, 2025 at 8:52 AM
Sigh.

Thailand's house of representatives passed an amnesty bill that didn't include provisions for those charged with Lèse-majesté, even for those under 18 at time of supposed offence.

Like it will help some folks but not most political prisoners.

Was looking for an old post & this hit me.
The pic on the left is Thai political prisoners under 112 & related charges in June 2023 a couple of months before the Pheu Thai coalition formed. The one on the right is from 10 days ago. So grim😭

Get has been detained for 790 days. He's been prosecuted under Section 112 in 4 cases for a total of 10 years & 6 months.

Today TLHR released a letter from Get, he asks "When those who control the past control the future, what are the "people" in Thai democracy?"

Key point:
"Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) said that, if the bill does not include charges under Sections 112 and 110, the majority of political prisoners currently detained will not be granted amnesty"

This morning the People's Amnesty Network and relatives of political detainees demonstrated at Thailand's Parliament building & submited a letter requesting that MPs vote to include all political charges, including Lèse-majesté, in the second reading vote today.

#FreeOurFriends
October 21, 2025 at 6:39 AM
Today in Thailand the parliament is again discussing the amnesty act. As it stands the draft will only grant amnesty to about a 1/3rd of those in prison on political charges & because section 112 (Lèse-majesté) isn't covered there are many ongoing cases that will also not be covered

The retaliatory suppression by HKSARG against activists post 2019 hasn't stopped but attention on the plight of those targeted has waned.

A HKer friend said to me recently "There just isn't a whole lot of interest in HK anymore" and they not wrong sadly.

Nevertheless they persist
